There were some questions about it back in october
… but a lot of these “bugs” and “issues” just turned out to come from people who did not really appreciate the status of the sim back then Or from people who were not prepare to really fly and wanted to make it as easy as possible… A lot has changed since october, and IMHO improved, at least for propellor airplanes.
Nice if SimConnect would be able to “copy” a config, but it would not really add a new airplane… I’ve done some work on the Gauges example aircraft, tweaking it to let it be like C172. A lot of the tweaking can be done with the SDK Aircraft Editor dialog in game… I haven’t tried SimConnect yet, did some gauges stuff really funny API to draw things on the cockpit panel. It has a large interface to events and status (also RPM )… dunno about settings of the aircraft, like min and max…
